JAMES W. LESLIE, OF EVERETT, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ISAAC WATTS OF WVAVERLY, AND J. O. WILLIS, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

CURTAIN RING OR HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,692. dated June 28, 18 87.

Application filed April 19, 1887.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES WVILLIAM Lus- LIE, of Everett, county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improve- 5 ment in Curtain Rings orHangers,of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention is an improvement upon the curtain hanger or ring shown and described in an application for Letters Patent filed by me March 22, 1887, Serial No. 231,889, and has for its object to simplify and cheapen the construction of the same.

In accordance with this invention a hollow tubular ring is employed, it being cut away at its inner side for a short distance to receive a' yoke or frame, in which is journaled the fric- The two opposite edges formed by cutting the roller-receiving opening and extending in the direction of the length of the roller are overturned to leave a finished edge, and preferably the outer ends of the side arms of the yoke or frame, in which arms the friction-roll is journaled, are also turned over upon the tubular ring.

The particular feature of invention herein is the yoke receiving the roller and adapted 0 to support such roller in the ring,as I will now proceed to fully set forth and claim.

Figure 1 shows in front elevation a curtain hanger or ring embodying this invention; Fig.

2, a crossseclion of the ring shown in Fig. 1

5 and taken on the dotted line m m,- Fig. 3, a cross-section of the ring, taken on the dotted line y y, Fig. 2; and Fig. 4, a detail of the yoke or frame containing the frictiolrroller.

The hollow or tubular ring a is madein any 40 usual manner. The ring a is cut away at its Serial No. 235308. (No model.)

of the ends or arms 2 overturned and bent outward, as at 3.

The shaft carrying the friction roller is sprung between the side arms,2,of the yoke or 0 frame, and the said frame is placed in the re ceiving-opening a. Previous to placing the frame in the opening the opposite edges 4 of said openings are turned inwardly or over, as best shown in Fig. 3.

The tubular ring a is herein shown as composed of a strip of metal rolled, for instance, overa mandrel or former, and afterward bent into ringlike form, the edges 6 7 of the metal coming together; and in placingthe yoke or frame carrying the friction -roller into the opening a the edges 6 7 are preferably bent outward slightly, as shown in Fig. 2, to permit the entrance of the ends of the shaft carrying .the roller. I

By making the ring or hanger in this manner it may be very cheaply manufactured and will be very durable.

I claim 1. In a curtain-hanger, the ring provided 7a with a roller-receiving recess,a,conibined with the yoke or frame placed within the recess and a friction-rollerjournaled in the yoke or frame, substantially as described.

2. In a curtain-hanger, the ring provided with a roller-receiving recess, to, having overturned edges,combined with the yoke or frame a and a friction-roller journaled in the yoke or frame, substantially as described.

3. In a curtain-hanger, the ring provided with a roller-receiving opening, a, combined with the yoke or frame a, bent as shown and described, and a friction'roller journaled in the yoke or frame, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JAMES W. LESLIE.
